Vlad has been the best photographer I’ve worked with thus far. He responds right away and event sent the fully edited pictures and videos before the promised time. He shot my proposal. I would definitely reach out to hire him for my wedding in the near future.

Vlad and his team transformed our proposal into an unforgettable experience. As someone not from the area, I was initially concerned about organizing such an important event from afar. However, Vlad's professionalism and clear communication quickly alleviated any worries. What impressed me most was Vlad's exceptional talent and creativity. He didn't just take photos; he captured moments, emotions, and the essence of our special day. After extensively researching local photographers, I'm confident that choosing Vlad was the best decision I made. His passion for photography is evident in every aspect of his work, from the initial planning stages to the final delivered product. Vlad isn't just a photographer; he is someone who truly invests in creating magical moments for his clients. Our proposal wouldn't have been nearly as special without his expert touch. We're incredibly grateful for the memories he's given us.

What is the best place to propose in NYC?

Central Park, Times Square and Brooklyn Bridge Park are the most famous places for proposing in NYC. These are the 3 areas where many start their quest to find a romantic spot. Central Park alone has so many aspects, from the scenic Bow Bridge (a favorite with film buffs) to hidden waterfalls that no tourist will chance upon. But New York has hundreds of great proposal spots; contact me and I will help you find one that suits your ideas.
